DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new vaporizing device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the pillowcase vaporizing assembly 10 generally comprises a pillowcase 12 that has an open end 14 to receive a pillow 15 for sleeping. The pillowcase 12 has a bottom side 16, a first lateral edge 18 and a second lateral edge 20. The bottom side 16 has an inside surface 22 and the open end 14 is open into an interior of the pillowcase 12. The pillowcase 12 may be a pillowcase of any conventional design and size and the pillow 15 inserted into the pillowcase 12 may be a sleeping pillow of any conventional design and size.

A pair of first mating members 24 is each coupled to the inside surface 22 of the bottom side 16. Each of the first mating members 24 is positioned adjacent to the open end 14 of the pillowcase 12. Moreover, the first mating members 24 are oriented to extend substantially between the first lateral edge 18 and the second lateral edge 20. Each of the first mating members 24 may comprise a hook and loop fastener or other type of releasable, multiple use fastener.

A pouch 26 is provided that has an entry 28 extending into an interior of the pouch 26. The pouch 26 is insertable into the open end 14 of the pillowcase 12 and the pouch 26 is releasably matable to the pillowcase 12 to inhibit the pouch 26 from travelling in the pillowcase 12. The pouch 26 has an outer wall 30, a front side 32, a first sidelong edge 34 and a second sidelong edge 36. The entry 28 extends through the front side 32 and the entry 28 extends along a full length of the front side 32. Additionally, the entry 28 has a first bounding edge 38 and a second bounding edge 40, and the outer wall 30 has a top side 42.

A pair of second mating members 44 is each coupled to an outer surface 46 of the top side 42 of the outer wall 30 of the pouch 26. Each of the second mating members 44 is oriented to extend substantially between the first sidelong side 34 and the second sidelong edge 36 of the pouch 26. The second mating members 44 are spaced apart from each other and each of the second mating members 44 releasably engages a respective one of the first mating members 24. Moreover, the front side 32 of the pouch 26 is aligned with the open end 14 of the pillowcase 12 such that the entry 28 in the pouch 26 is accessible to a user.

A pocket 48 is provided, the pocket 48 is integrated into the pouch 26 and the pocket 48 is positioned within the pouch 26. The pocket 48 has a first end 50 and a second end 52, and the pocket 48 is elongated between the first end 50 and the second end 52. Moreover, the first end 50 is open into an interior of the pocket 48 and the second end 52 is closed. The pocket 48 is positioned on an interior surface 54 of the outer wall 30 of the pouch 26 and the first end 50 is positioned adjacent to the entry 28 in the pouch 26. Moreover, the pocket 48 is oriented such that a line extending through the first end 50 and the second end 52 is oriented parallel to the first lateral edge 18 of the pillowcase 12 when the pouch 26 is positioned in the pillowcase 12.

A first fastener 56 is coupled to the first bounding edge 38 of the entry 28 in the pouch 26 and the first fastener 56 extends along a full length of the first bounding edge 38. A second fastener 58 is coupled to the second bounding edge 40 of the entry 28 in the pouch 26 and the second fastener 58 extends along a full length of the second bounding edge 40. The second fastener 58 is releasably matable to the first fastener 56 for opening and closing the entry 28. The first fastener 56 and the second fastener 58 may comprise complementary halves of a zipper or other type of releasable, mechanical fastener.

A vaporizer 60 is provided and the vaporizer 60 is slidable into the pocket 48 in the pouch 26. The vaporizer 60 has an output 62 for releasing an inhalable vapor. The vaporizer 60 is insertable into the first end 50 of the pocket 48 having the output 62 being exposed with respect to the first end 50 of the pocket 48 such that the output 62 is accessible to the user. The vaporizer 60 includes a heating element 64 and a fluid cartridge 66. The heating element 64 heats a fluid 68 contained within the fluid cartridge 66 thereby facilitating the heating element 64 to vaporize the fluid 68 into the inhalable vapor which passes through the output 62. The vaporizer 60 may comprise an electronic vaporizer of any conventional design and the fluid in the cartridge 66 may comprise a nicotine solution of other solution that is commonly employed in vaporizers for inhalation. Additionally, replacement fluid cartridges for the vaporizer 60, a charger for the vaporizer 60 and other objects can be stored in the pouch 26.

A hose 70 is provided and the hose 70 is fluidly attachable to the output 62 of the vaporizer 60 such that the hose 70 receives the inhalable vapor from the vaporizer 60. The hose 70 has a primary end 72 and a secondary end 74, and the primary end 72 is fluidly attachable to the output 62 of the vaporizer 60 such that the hose 70 is extendable outwardly from the pillowcase 12. Additionally, the hose 70 is positionable within the pouch 26 for storage. A mouthpiece 76 is fluidly attachable to the hose 70 such that the mouthpiece 76 receives the inhalable vapor from the vaporizer 60. Thus, the mouthpiece 76 can be placed in the user's mouth thereby facilitating the user to inhale the inhalable vapor.

The mouthpiece 76 has a first portion 78 forming an angle with a second portion 80, the first portion 78 has a distal end 82 with respect to the second portion 80, and the second portion 80 has a distal end 84 with respect to the first portion 78. The first portion 78 has an outer surface 86 and the outer surface 86 has a plurality of ridges 88 each extending outwardly from the outer surface 86. Each of the ridges 88 extends around a full circumference of the first portion 78, and the ridges 88 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed along a full length of the first portion 78. The first portion 78 is insertable into the secondary end 74 of the hose 70 such that the plurality of ridges 88 frictionally engages an inside surface 22 of the hose 70 for retaining the first portion 78 in the hose 70. The mouthpiece 76 may include a valve that facilitates air to flow outwardly from the second portion 80 but inhibits air from flowing inwardly on the second portion 80.

In use, the vaporizer 60 is inserted into the pouch 26 and the secondary end 74 of the hose 70 is fluidly coupled to the output 62. The pouch 26 is positioned in the pillowcase 12 such that the first mating members 24 engage the second mating members 44. In this way the hose 70 can be pulled outwardly from the pillowcase 12 thereby facilitating the user to inhale through the mouthpiece 76. In this way the user can enjoy inhaling the inhalable vapor while the user is lying in bed. Additionally, the vaporizer 60 can be stored in the pouch 26 instead of storing the vaporizer 60 on a nightstand as is commonly required thereby enhancing convenience for the user.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
